Kristína - Horehronie

The song is an ode to the Horehronie tourism region. It became the winner of the Slovak music contest Eurosong 2010 on 27 February, getting the largest share of the televote and coming second in the jury vote.

Horehronie (also Upper Hron River region or Horné Pohronie) is a tourism and geographic region of Slovakia. It is situated in the Banská Bystrica and Brezno districts and encompasses the upper Hron River valley and the surrounding Low Tatra mountain ranges.

Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní chce sa mi spievať, zomrieť aj žiť

Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní túžim sa k nebu priblížiť

Na tráve ležím a snívam o čom sama neviem

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie

Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní to tiché bratstvo vraví mi poď

Sem sa vždy vrátim keď ma niečo zroní, vravia to stromy: z pliec to zhoď

Na tráve ležím a snívam o čom sama neviem

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie

Keď sa slnko skloní na Horehroní tam niekde v ďiaľke náš zvon zvoní

Keď má ma to bolieť tak nech ma bolí raz sa to stratí do čiernej hory

Na tráve ležím a snívam oči tíško plačú

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie

Na tráve ležím a snívam oči tíško plačú

V tom vánku, čo ma kolíše keď je slnko najnižšie

Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní

English Translation

Horehronie

When the sun goes down in Horehronie, I want to sing, die and live

When the sun goes down in Horehronie, I wish I could get closer to the sky

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, of what, I don’t even know myself

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point

The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie, a silent brotherhood is telling me: come

I come back here when I feel sad, the trees are saying: shake it off

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, of what, I don’t even know myself

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point

When the sun goes down in Horehronie, out there somewhere far away our bell is ringing

When it hurts, let it hurt, one day it will vanish in the black mountain

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, my eyes are crying softly

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point

I’m lying on the grass and dreaming, my eyes are crying softly

In the breeze that gently sways me, when the sun is at its lowest point

The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie

Kristína- horehronie

Kristína- horehronie

This song is the song of Slovakia for eurovision 2010

Slovakia Population: 5,500,000

The Slovak landscape is noted primarily for its mountainous nature, with the Carpathian Mountains extending across most of the northern half of the country. Amongst these mountain ranges are the high peaks of the Tatra mountains. To the north, close to the Polish border, are the High Tatras which are a popular skiing destination and home to many scenic lakes and valleys as well as the highest point in Slovakia, the Gerlachovský štít at 2,655 metres (8,711 ft), and the country's highly symbolic mountain Kriváň.



Slovakia is a parliamentary democratic republic with a multi-party system. The last parliamentary elections were held on June 17, 2006 and two rounds of presidential elections took place on April 3, 2004 and April 17, 2004.

The Slovak economy is considered an advanced economy, with the country dubbed the "Tatra Tiger". Slovakia transformed from a centrally planned economy to a market-driven economy. Major privatizations are nearly complete, the banking sector is almost completely in private hands, and foreign investment has risen.

Inflation dropped from an average annual rate of 12.0% in 2000 to just 3.3% in 2002, the election year, but it rose again in 2003–2004 because of rising labor costs and excess taxes. It reached 3.7 % in 2005.



Slovakia adopted the euro currency on 1 January 2009 as the 16th member of the Eurozone. The euro in Slovakia was approved by the European commission on 7 May 2008. The Slovenská koruna was revalued on 28 May 2008 to 30.126 for 1 euro,[54] which was also the exchange rate for the euro.

Slovakia features natural landscapes, mountains, caves, medieval castles and towns, folk architecture, spas and ski resorts. More than 1.6 million people visited Slovakia in 2006, and the most attractive destinations are the capital of Bratislava and the High Tatras.
